Green textured wraps, 80pp. Nearly Fine, with a touch of fray to the top edge of the rear wrap in a clean Very Good jacket that shows soiling, light rubbing to edges, very shallow chipping to top of rear panel, which also has a former price sticker (5.95).. Cover photo by Edward Maxey, frontispiece and inside photo by Linda Smith Bianucci. Signed First Edition of Patti Smith's installment (45 of 50 total) in Raymond Foye and Francisco Clemente's Hanuman series, which were printed in Madras, India and formatted like the Hindu prayer books the printer mostly put forth. The Hanuman series put forth poetry, prose, and experimental writing from a veritable who's-who of the literary underground of the late 20th-century, with artists, Beatniks, New York School poets, punks, and more contributing titles. This copy, though not denoted here, is from Patti Smith's personal collection ("I had an extra", as she explained to these booksellers), and was signed to the title page in black ink at her home in New York City.
